The next morning, I wake up to the sound of my alarm going off. I press the snooze button and place my head back under my pillow.
I'll give myself five more minutes before I get up...
Half an hour later, I roll out of bed and see Chris sitting on his gaming chair.
His headset is covering his ears and I see a girl with two french braids running around looting an area.
If Loba was real, I'd tap that, I smirk to myself.
"Bro you fuckin' suck! Get off the damn game." Chris yells.
There is a slight pause before he begins to speak again.
"I'm trash?! Show me your KD and then we'll see who trash! Matter fact, me and you, one on one."
I shake my head at Chris and walk to my closet. Opening it up, I grab a black V neck shirt and my red and black Chicago Bull basketball shorts.
As I walk back over to my bed, I grab my phone off of the dresser and start to turn it on.
While I wait for it to start up, I lift my arm up.
A little sour but it's nothing a bit of cologne won't solve.
I grab my clothes and my phone before making my way towards the bathroom.
I motion for Chris because I have to walk in front of the television that he is playing his Xbox One on. Once he is out of his match, I walk into the bathroom locking the door behind me.
My phone dings and I unlock it looking at the new notification.
New Yrk City Girl✨ my bad fell asleep hehe 🙈
Nah its all good went 2 sleep 2 💯
I toss my phone onto the counter and take off my flannel patterned pajama pants and my good old white tank top that has two too many holes in it. As I'm placing one of my legs into my Bulls shorts, my phone dings again.
When I finish placing my shorts on, I grab my phone. Delilah.
New Yrk City Girl✨ oh okay.
Her three dots appear signaling that she is typing. Moments later a ding goes off again.
New Yrk City Girl✨ wyd?
Just getting dressed
I take a quick shirtless mirror picture and send it to Delilah.
How bout you?
By the time Delilah texts me back, I'm back inside of my dorm room and sitting at my desk with my computer open.
I have a couple of assignments I need to finish up. I look at Delilah's message but I don't reply for now because I wanna focus on my classwork and finish it as soon as possible.
Once I finish my work, I open up my phone again and text Delilah back.
New Yrk City Girl✨ sitting here chatting with Audree
My bad, I was working on some classwork 🙄😩
I don't expect a girl like Delilah to be left on delivered for hours and then reply instantly to my message, so I walk over to my PlayStation and grab the remote. Turning on my console, I take a seat in my desk chair and sign into my PlayStation Network account.
Chris hears my PS4 turn on and he slides one side of his headset off of his ear.
"You trynna play? These randoms are killin' me!"
"Yeah I guess I can hop on APEX for a bit."
While the application loads up, I text Delilah again.
I've been wanting to hang out with you since we met at that party. When r you free to chill?
Chris and I play a couple of matches and then I text Delilah.
New Yrk City Girl✨ when are you free then i can let you know if im free too
I should be free all week this week.

New Yrk City Girl✨ time

New Yrk City Girl✨ twelve works. where should I meet you?
I will meet you. All you have to do is dress nice and be at your dorm at 12
New Yrk City Girl✨ got it. dress pretty, bring cash, charger, and etc.
Nahhh no cash needed mamas.
I send the text and then two more follow.
I got ya covered
Can't take a girl out on a date n have her pay for her own meal... momma aint raise no fool
New Yrk City Girl✨ lmao okay
New Yrk City Girl✨ see you then, can't wait.
"Yo Chris, this gone be my last match. I got business to handle." I say.
"Alright."
After my match I grab my car keys and take it through the car wash.
I also go to the bank and transfer some money from my savings account to my checkings account for tomorrow.
Thank God for my parents. They just sent me my monthly allowance, nice.
